OT: Have you gotten a lot of e-mails from PayPal today?

I know that these e-mails are "spoofs" and merely attempt to steal your account information, but I have received an excessive amount of these e-mails today. Anyone else have this experience recently?

i get several each day disguised to look like ebay, paypal, banks, etc. i have even heard of malware/adware etc. downloading if you click the links in addition to them trying to steal your information. but when i'm not on a personal computer, i click the links, and fill in "go $#@* yourself" into the fields.

a little more ot, but speaking of email scams, a while ago someone got one of those "help transfer millions from africa" scams. the guy was able to get the scammer to believe that he'd meet him somewhere in europe in a coffee shop. the scammer actually bought a plane ticket there, and the coffee shop at a live internet camera so people all over the world got to see the stood up scammer

Get this, just the other day, I get a paypal debit card in the mail, without ever applying!

Worst thing is, there's no toll free number on it to cancel it.....I get to go to paypal.com and try to figure the fu**ing ordeal out.

I love it when scammers get scammed themselves.
